Mmmm Granola!

This is the best homemade granola I've tasted. Antonia introduced me to it at Annie's shower-LOVE it! Now I just have to get the courage to try the homemade yogurt she says is oh so easy.... it intimidates me! This recipe is in my new More With Less cookbook (thanks, mom!)

Simple Granola

Preheat oven to 250.

Combine in a large mixing bowl:

2 cups whole wheat flour

6 cups rolled oats

1 cup coconut

1 cup wheat germ

(I added some slivered almonds, crushed walnuts & ground flax. do a bit less oats if you do this. you can also do half flax half wheat germ)

Blend together separately:

1/2 cup water

1 cup oil

1 cup coconut

1 cup honey or corn syrup

2 tsp. vanilla

1 Tbsp. salt

Directions:

Add blended liquids to dry ingredients and mix thoroughly. Spread out on 2 greased jelly roll pans/cake pan and bake 1 hour or until dry and golden. I mix it after 30 minutes. Store in covered containers for a week or freeze.
